chem1st Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/care-and-support/eu-migrants-face-destitution/6513117.article 3rd class citizens from Eastern Europe, specifically the 10 nations classed as A2 and A8, face destitution, research carried out by Wandsworth council has revealed. This is not a surprise, for you see this special group of immigrants are a different kind of citizen. They are 3rd class citizens. Where an asylum seeker would be provided housing and subsistence payments, the A2 or A8 national gets nothing. Even a dog would get housed and fed! These 3rd class citizens must work, if they want to eat or have a roof over their head. If they work for a year continuously, they do become eligible for benefits and social housing, but up until then, they will get no help whatsoever. Some people will see this as a good thing, some people will see it as a bad thing. I suppose it depends upon whether or not you want to drive wages down. With no social safety net, these people have been forced into low paid employment and drove down wages. Big business has profited with a little helping hand from the government.

azazel666 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 If they are in such dire straits then why not be so at home??? Honest question. It's not far to go home for them and there are no EU countries that are dangerous compared to the likes of Somalia etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azazel666 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Perhaps they are escaping from destitution at home too. I get that! But why not be destitute at home? If they aren't benefiting financially then why be here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Macbeth Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 It would be the same if we moved to any of the A2 and A8 for work and couldn't find any - there are no guarantees. We'd have to come home. The majority are self supporting, but for the minority who end up on the streets, there is (was?) a scheme in London to help some of them go home. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7925499.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
